What Did I Do Wrong -Sad Contest

I wander the streets looking for scraps Haven't been fed for a month or more My bones show through, too weak to walk What did I do wrong what was the score People tried to catch me in the earlier days Didn't trust anyone after the beatings I had known Thrown from a car, to make my own way Said I was too expensive for them too own As I lay under a bench in the park Heard someone approach, too weak to hide Next gentle hands lifted me up into a van Wrapped in blankets kept warm inside Took me to the animal hospital where people cried When they saw my bones and my weak state Put me on a drip to feed me slowly, instead of giving me a meal which would have sealed my fate Am a big dog now healthy, happy and fun Going to a new home, with a lovely new mum 2 children to play with, a boss for walks Life from now on will be great, with a full tum.

I love animals and I appreciate when someone does a poem on them like this. A very thoughtful one , Seren. It's really cruel what happens to our pets all around the world when people are too lazy to keep them around after having grown tired of them!!
